Now you got me VERY confused Werner :-)
The choice of word you used (Zdravstvyite) tells me that you either know Russian VERY well (to the extent of being able to make jokes :-)), or you just confused the word with "Spasibo". In a very unlike case of you being wrong :-) (confused) I have to say "Vsegda pozgaluista" :-)

Werner,
With the exception of word "Tovarish" (not Dovarish), your Russian is almost
perfect :-)

Privet dovarish [I understand dovarish may have gotten a bad connotation during
the ne kulturnii Soviet regime] Vladimir,
Da, I like "spa see ba," but is the 's' in 'spa' not almost silent? But my
favorite phrase is 'Ne bonemaju russki'
Back to roboti, roboti, dawai, dawai.

I am not fluent but have found Russian pronunciation is quite structured. If
you know the sounds of the letters you can figure out how to say it.
That said, there are some words that folks say differently than they are
spelled out of custom but knowing the correct way and using it for emphasis
"Thank you" is written phonetically as "spi cee bo" but is commonly
pronounced
"spi cee ba". Some folks I know will use the former for extra emphasis. Sort
of like "Thank you!" versus "thanks"

Congratulations to all you TechNetters who've learned English. (I think
George Bernard Shaw recognized the possible existence of ghoti that Inge showed
us.)
Having studied variously German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, when
I got to Russian and found that the same sound could be represented by é, ê,
or éê, and that ç, in a few pronouns, was pronounced as ÷, I noticed myself
getting rather irritated. After a little while, however, the thought occurred
to me - what must learners of English have to deal with?
